The experience brings together food, market, and date oasis, allowing travelers to move from passive observation to a more direct encounter with Moroccan culture or landscape.

Rissani connects the Tafilalt oasis region with the history of Sijilmassa and the Alaouite dynasty. The Mausoleum of Moulay Ali Cherif commemorates an ancestor of the dynasty, rather than its first ruling sultan.
